Absolutely disgusting, and all around low standard! customer service is appalling, with poor attitude and lack of interest in doing their job. No respect for the stores customers and forcibly made into buying unwanted products based on no reasoning, even when asked. Impolite responses and unprofessional shrugs to any inquires. Wouldn't recommend this to place to anyone.

If I could give no star, I would. I purchased a medi-pak from them yesterday. Today, went to use it and discovered it has a leak. Called them up to arrange for a replacement and was told to contact the manufacturer!! I won't be a returning customer, and I'll make sure others know to purchase their items from the other pharmacies, not this one. Unprofessional.

I went to get my documents certified as copies but they had no idea. They even said I should get them certified by a someone who knows you instead, which is just wrong. The Bourke St pharmacy was much more helpful.

Report
The male pharmacist at this pharmacy is extremely unprofessional and customer service is not a priority for him. I had my prescription filled here and when the staff asked for payment, I noticed the tablets they supplied me were not the ones prescribed by the doctor. I questioned this with the staff member and the pharmacist overheard our conversation. In a loud voice, in front of other customers, he said the tablets he gave me were the generic brand of what the doctor had initially prescribed. I said that I did not want the generic brand and would prefer the actually brand the doctor prescribed

ALERT re Flu Vac for all over 65's.
Contrary to givernment funded policy, this owner pharmacist insists on charging all over 65's $19.95 for the flu vaccine, stating (17/5/2019) that only pension card/health card holders could have free vaccine) Disgracefull. Totally false information. People trust pharmacist to give appropriate advice not based on profit margin. If you have a health condition, asthma etc; and if you're over 65, please go to your GP and get the flu vac free. Having had flu 2 weeks ago I wouldnt wish it on anyone.
